Can a special drink curb eating disorder urges?

NCT ID NCT05507008

Summary

This small pilot study is testing whether a ketone supplement drink can help people with anorexia or bulimia. Researchers want to see if the drink reduces the urge to binge eat or restrict food, and improves mood and anxiety. Participants will try the drink or a placebo while having brain scans, then take the ketone drink daily for two weeks.
